Explanation:

The adjusting entries are shown below:

a.  Insurance expense A/c Dr $210

                      To Prepaid insurance A/c $210

(Being the insurance expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $840 × 6 months ÷ 24 months

= $210

b.  Supplies expense A/c Dr $600

             To Supplies A/c $600

(Being supplies account is adjusted)

The supplies expense is computed below

= Supplies unadjusted balance - supplies on hand

= $1,000 - $400

= $600

c. Repairs and Maintenance expenseA/c Dr $900

                 To Accrued LiabilitiesA/c $900

(Being the repairs and maintenance expense is recorded)

d. Accounts Receivable A/c Dr $8,450

             To Service revenue A/c $8,450

(Being the contract completion is recorded)

e. Depreciation expense A/c Dr $3,250

          To Accumulated depreciation A/c 3,250

(Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

f. Interest expenseA/c Dr $600

        To Interest payable A/c $600

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

g. Income tax expense A/c Dr $8,000

          To Income tax payable A/c $8,000

(Being the income tax expense is recorded)

It is computed below:

= $40,000 × 20%

= $8,000

2. Now the net income overstated or understated is

= Expenses - revenues

where,

Expenses = $210 + $600 + $900 + $3,250 +$600 + $8,000

= $13,560

And, the revenues is $8,450

So, the net income overstated is

= $13,560 - $8,450

= $5,110
